🙂 Should be a looker! 🙄
-
It's a good kit no doubt Kevin. I enjoyed building the 1st one and expect this one will be enjoyable too. 🙂
-
Getting started. Just finished removing all the little mold tabs so now I'll get the interior parts painted. 🙂

Tamiya 1/32 F4U1-D completed
JohnB replied to JohnB's topic in LSM 1/32 and Larger Aircraft Ready for Inspection
Thank you Rod. Very appreciated! 🙂 -
I hope all will be well!!!
-
Gonna be a bigun! 😃 This will be my 2nd one of these since I did one several years ago in NMF. I plan to make this one OD and Gray and will use the decals supplied with the kit. Certainly not a weekend build!!!
-
As a late foot note, the checker decals showed up today, Nov. 13 a week after the model was completed.
-
I'm glad you got that sorted out! I remove and clean the tip on my Paasche after each color. Usually no problems. 🙄

Thanks Chris! I'm pretty well pleased with this one although it did have it's "moments" (especially getting the outer wings attached satisfactorily). 🙄 -

Thank you Kevin! I'm glad you like "her"! LOL 🙂 -

Another Corsair in the books. Those Tamiya kits are enjoyable builds. Great subjects, great fit and nicely detailed. I wish they'd add to their 1/32 line. Painted with Model Master Dark Sea Blue. Decals, except for the national insignias, are from my decal stash. This a/c was from VMF-323 on Okinawa. I hope you like the results of my efforts. 🙂
-
Nearly done now Chris. Thank you. 🙂
-
The #26 a/c it is. Stay tuned.
-
It's looking like those checkerboard decals are "somewhere in the USPO maze" and won't show up any time soon. I'll give it another day or two and if they don't show up I'll do this Corsair instead. Okinawa 1945.
-
National insignia decals applied. I hope to do #530 from VMF-312 on Okinawa. I have some checker board decals coming but won't know if they will work until they show up in a day or two. I may have to adjust them and print out corrected ones but we will see. Fingers crossed! 🙄

P-51 racer "Challenger"

I'm glad you like it! Thanks. 🙂 -
I just recently got this kit from Martin so, instead of letting it sit on the shelf, I decided to go on and build it. Undecided right now on markings but, needless to say, it will be overall GSB. (To be more accurate GDSB 🙂)

I used the Revell 1/32 kit for this build which represents the FIRST of Chuck Lyford's P-51 racers in 1966. Thereafter it was named "Bardahl Special" through the following racing years. Now I have done all versions, which were all the same a/c.
